Sep 26, 2020 Variable performance. Every few weeks it crashes and I have to uninstall and reload which is aggravating. The most recent uploads which defaults to a built in browser is totally unmanageable. As soon as you have to get a verification code to continue your browsing you have to go back to outlook and give lost what you were doing. Please remove this featuremore -
Sep 26, 2020 Sometimes when I click 'reply/reply all' my email signature does not get inserted automatically, I believe this is a bug that needs to be fixed. I hope MS technical team looks into this. Keeping in mind that most of the times, the signature is there. All in all, a much better email app than most.more -
I weep for everyone who has to use his on iOS.
Sep 1, 2019 This is the worst app that I have on my phone. Typically I don’t keep apps that I absolutely hate, but since I have no alternative to using this horrible thing, I haven’t removed it. This pathetic thing has caused problems for me professionally. It takes less time for me to boot up the computer and check my calendar and then it does for me to even make my calendar showing this out. Hoping out an email literally takes as long as it would to write a letter and put it in the mail. Smoke signals will be better than this app. I can’t even open my calendar to understand what kind of meetings I have for the day because this app loads every single calendar I have shared to me and freezes every time I click a button. This is horrible. Don’t know why Microsoft insists upon upgrading things to be absolutely terrible. Even more I can’t understand why the entire professional world forces everyone to use Outlook. Gross. Even worse, it’s been out for a year already and you’ve done nothing to fix it, it’s gotten worse if anything. I’d be fired if I was this bad at my job.more -
Very simple email app
Aug 8, 2020 I have used numerous email applications in the past, but Outlook really is the best of them all, period. There are a lot of features here that I can’t fathom in either Gmail or Yahoo Mail, such as calendar integration, syncing with multiple devices (including computers), and a simple user interface. While I heavily use Gmail on a day-to-day basis, I think that Microsoft really pays off when it comes to this functional app. I don’t want to screw Redmond if they have missed anything worthwhile or important, but I am happy with the work that the Outlook team has put into it. In conclusion, please download this app if you can, and enjoy a simple, refreshing email experience. (The only flaw I have encountered so far? Well, as far as I can tell you, there have been a lack of features from the web app of Outlook, and you have to sign in there to access them. Only the mobile app has several features. But, otherwise, as I have said, I am content with that.)more -
User friendliness and efficiency needs improvement
Oct 13, 2019 So when you use gmail you can do a search and it will bring up emails specifically from the word you searched. For example, if you search for Apple Pay it will pull up emails from Apple Pay first. If you do the same search in outlook it will give you all emails that include those words as the sender, subject, mention, etc. This means you have to navigate through a list of unimportant emails to get to the one you want if you don’t give up in utter disappointment in the process. If that’s not frustrating enough when you write an email and it goes past a certain line you better hope you can type really well because you won’t be able to see past that line. I would have to stop scroll up and check the sentence, correct it blindly because it toggles back down where it can’t be seen and continue typing. So I started writing in other apps like gmail and forwarding it to outlook or doing a copy paste and forwarding it to my recipient if it was a longer message. That is not how I want to send my emails but outlook hasn’t seemed to be able to figure out how to make it work. Thus I have several apps for emails. Ughmore

Disjointed Functionality
Jul 23, 2020 It seems that Outlook routinely "forgets" your mail accounts, even when using Microsoft's own Exchange-based accounts (Outlook, Hotmail). Why is this? Why does Outlook have to refresh all of your mail locally almost every time you open it? There will even be a numerical badge indicating unread messages, but when you open Outlook, you will be notified that Outlook has "found" accounts on your system (accounts that you have, of course, already added to Outlook) and you will be prompted to add these accounts again. The standard Apple iOS Mail app actually seems to manage Microsoft's own mail accounts better than Microsoft's email app. How can this be? Is Apple doing sometime here to hobble non-Apple email apps (as they do with non-Apple mobile browsers) or has Microsoft not been able to figure out how to develop native iOS applications? I'm inclined to think it's the latter, because other non-Apple email apps do seem to be able to retain email account continuity. It's a shortcoming only for the Outlook email client. I keep trying to use Outlook as a mobile email client for my Microsoft email accounts and I always end up uninstalling it and reverting to the Apple app or some other third-part email app. It's a shame, really. Google's Mail app works pretty well for Gmail. Microsoft's Outlook app doesn't work well for Microsoft email. What's going on here?more -
Sep 25, 2020 This app is very buggy. I have had problem since day one. 1. Automatically signed out every time I open the app 2. Receive notification on new emails but when I open its blank and all the senders would be me 3. Cannot open the app at all 4. When I open other apps this app will appear and disrupt my activities. This is consistent with Microsoft teams as well. Please address this issues in your coming updates Thank you Usermore -
Sep 26, 2020 Update 9/2020 - still an absolutely horrible email client. Inconsistent notifications. No notification of messages routed to subfolders. How can this be a corporate solution? Unreliable. Inconsistent. Absolute garbage for a business app. Sometimes notifications come through. Other times, I have to open the app for it to pull messages. No notifications for mails directed to sub folders. Swipinging calendar notifications in the notification area on the app disable them in the desktop completely.more -
Extremely basic, can’t organize mail
Mar 3, 2020 This is a terrible implementation of outlook. It’s only good for basic reading & writing of simple emails. I can’t manage folders other than the ability to create new folders at the top level of the folder hierarchy. I can’t create a hierarchy of folders. God forbid you used Outlook for windows to create a folder hierarchy in your mailbox; it can’t be edited, new folders can’t be created within this hierarchy, and there is NO WAY to delete any folders in this app. (The native Apple Mail app is more functional with this regard than MS’ own app.) The only other reason I’d use this app over Apple Mail client is to retain the ability to create other types of outlook / exchange documents in folders. But, alas, the authors have removed this feature too. No more notes, postings, or other document types. So now I have to email things to myself and move them into folders when I want to use exchange to organize my online documents & notes; and that means sending notes through email which is often a security risk I was never exposed to before. But, then again, since I can’t do folder Mgmt, I’m better off using Apple Mail so I can at least manage where and how I store my info with my folder hierarchy.more -
The only thing worse than this app is their customer service
Jan 4, 2019 I’m trying to use this app to access my work email from home. The app has continually deleted my entire inbox for no consistent reason I can figure out. I will open a new email and it will delete the email while I’m reading it and then my entire inbox. My inbox on my work computer will still be intact, but any email I attempted to open in the app will be missing. When I contacted customer service through the app they told me it simply wasn’t possible that the app was deleting emails and never responded again. When I attempted to email customer service on my work computer it said their customer service email address is undeliverable. I missed a very important email from my boss this morning while out sick, and even drove into work to try and see if I could access the email there to find nothing. I very well might loose my job over this and their customer service frankly does not care. If you can avoid using Microsoft (which I know is impossible) do all you can to stay away from them. They are a heartless company, and their substandard products will not only make your life hell, their customer service department seems to get joy out of your pain. If I could give them zero stars I would!more

Sep 25, 2020 Since the most recent update I'm not able to open any emails from my personal and business accounts. Please fix this. Update: I installed Outlook on another device and it's doing the same thing. It will not open any emails. I can send and receive email, but I can't open any emails. If I want to see them to read them I have to login on the Outlook website, which makes having the app pointless.more -
So good in some areas and 1990 in others.
Dec 11, 2017 Hello, I love the outlook app and I need to use it on a day to day basis. Some of the items like calendar events and sending notifications is great in parts but lack in editing. First off. Why is there no copy and paste in Outlook. I had a whole email typed up and I needed to input a link. So what would I have to do? Copy and paste it in. Nope. I have to go to safari and click share and then outlook so I can send a link in outlook. Well then when I get in outlook I have to retype my message or just paste in the other one right. Nope. Paste does not work from previous to new message. So I have to manually copy something by hand. Link or original message. Come on Microsoft. Make copy and paste work the. You get a solid 4. Add some polish and sub folder notifications and some editing tools you will have a 5 Star app again. Please fix these little flaws. You have office and should be able to make a solid app. Now let’s make it happen. Thanks.more -
Almost 100 percent.
Aug 12, 2020 I keep reading that Outlook may still not play well with all the other apps available - and, to be honest, we should not expect that it should. There are just too many apps with too many formats and offerings to contend with. However, it seems like one or two niceties of the other major apps like “Fantastical” that would be very helpful. One example is the ability to set multiple a times for reminders before an event. It may sound trivial but it is not if you are planning for a birthday, vacation or other important event. Outlook is truly a great application for IOS and I would highly recommend it to all. You have to really use it to appreciate it. If I were just starting to use Ios it would be my first down load. It is truly a 5 star app - Thank you Microsoft! However, for me to start the laborious task of transferring all my data to Outlook for IOS, Outlook needs a couple of small enhancements to push it over the top.more

Can't give 5 Stars because when transferring my photos the App doesn't cancel duplicate photos! Annoying 😲more -
So Much Better Than the Native iPhone Mail App
Aug 7, 2020 I had been meaning to try the Outlook app for iOS for a couple of years, moved to O365 and MS Intune necessitating my move to Outlook for iOS; fine by me. The learning curve has been minimal. I haven’t found a way to move between emails without going out to my inbox or other containing folder, but I haven’t had time to google that, either. I just wish there were up/down arrows within an email allowing me to move up/down a message within the parent folder. I like that it feels more professional in UI appearance than apps aimed at consumers in general; other than the one feature I complained about it lacking above. I haven’t tried this yet, but it appears that I can even set my OOO message, or update it, from the app! Now THAT’S a level of integration with our Exchange server that wasn’t even possible with any other mail app on the iPhone or iPad. That is awesome! I can’t wait to find out what other little nuggets it has that I haven’t discovered yet!more -
Great replacement for Mail, needs only one fix
Jul 29, 2020 Overall I really like outlook and find it is equal to or better than Mail in virtually all respects. The reading function works amazingly well, and the overall layout and functionality is excellent. The one function I don’t like in Outlook and wish work like Mail is the undo function when I am filing and moving messages into folders. In Mail, if I move a message to the wrong folder, I can just shake the phone and and trigger the undo function to reverse the move, even several seconds later. But in Outlook, the undo is provided by a software button that appears for only a couple of seconds at the bottom of the screen. If I don’t click the button right away, the ability to undo has passed, and then I have to hope I can find the message in the wrong folder and manually re-locate it etc. Not a deal killer by any means, but if that were fixed, I would give it six stars.more -
Adequate
Nov 2, 2018 Let me start by saying my extremely hectic life has gotten a lot more organized with this Outlook Account. The app itself can perform most of the basics that the web version can. A major improvement that they should work on is the calendar section of the application. On the web, when you make a new event you can categorize it, change its color, and other additional features that aid in quick location / identification of events documented. In the application, there is a limited amount of things you can do: you cannot change which calendar it’s saved on, cannot classify into categories, cannot change an events color, cannot view the schedule in any other color (this means that even if you have separate categories / colors on the desktop version, the application shows it all as one color), and etc. If they improved this feature, it would be almost as perfect as the desktop version of Outlook is!more

The App is Ok
Aug 1, 2019 The app has worked great since I got it last year, especially for school. But recently it’s stopped sending me notifications for some emails which has caused me to miss several emails and dead-lines. It’s too late for me at this point so please fix this issue. I don’t know if it’s because I had 2 inboxes from 2 different school emails or what, but this problem has caused me a lot of stress and I’d prefer it not happen in the future. Edit: The issue that I believed was originally occurring is not the only one. It appears the reason I am not getting notifications for emails is because these emails aren’t appearing in my inbox until days later. For example, several emails I received on the 30th of July did not appear in my inbox until today. I did not get any notifications for any emails on that 30th. This is really frustrating because I’ve received emails from university faculty who have been sending and requesting information and it is really creating a huge hassle for me and causing more stress than is needed. Maybe this is something I need to talk to my school about? If it is please let me know.more -
Sep 26, 2020 updated from 2 to 3 stars. getting better. the push notifications appears to be working again. Please give the option to turn off the multiple updates for meeting notifications. Notifications every minute for 15 minutes is not helpful. it just makes my smart watch vibrate constantly. I have switched to Gmail for my calendar for now. please fix.more -
Sep 24, 2020 I enjoy this app, however I really wished there was an option to receive notifications from specific folders, not just from VIPs, favorite people and focused inbox, but from specific folders. I get so many emails but there are only a few that come from different people but into the same folder that are the most important for me to follow up quickly on.more

So now I have to email things to myself and move them into folders when I want to use exchange to organize my online documents & notes; and that means sending notes through email which is often a security risk I was never exposed to before. But, then again, since I can’t do folder Mgmt, I’m better off using Apple Mail so I can at least manage where and how I store my info with my folder hierarchy.more -
Only one month of storage? Seriously?
Jul 26, 2020 I don't know about the rest of you but I use this app on my iPhone for business. It has a very limited amount of storage space and I received quite a few emails. I'm only able to access emails dating back one month. No help from tech-support and I see that many others have suggested an improvement to the developers. No response. Typical Microsoft behavior. They will always think they're better and smarter than anybody else. Part of the problem is that they don't listen. That arrogance and lack of adaptation to changing behavior is what is making their company fade. The only way to access these older emails is to use the web-based browser on my desktop. This is an absolutely ridiculous alternative just simply having an app that would allow you to use local storage on your device to archive and back up your emails for easier access on the go. I'm not sure why they have such limited storage. I have tons of free storage using my yahoo email dating back to the late 90s! Absolute crap. If you can avoid this ridiculousness please find another email client to serve your business needs. And Microsoft - I hope you burn in hell.more -
No drag and drop?
Jul 3, 2020 Maybe I’m missing something here, but as far as I can tell Outlook does not allow dragging and dropping of files with either the Files app or Google Drive in split-view. The focus/other view is not well implemented, and often made seeing email harder rather than easier (although not being able to see an email is I guess a form of dealing with your inbox overload). There is an email filing integration with another web app I use that is available on the desktop version that is awesome, but unfortunately it appears that integration isn’t available on the ipad and ios versions (not Microsoft’s fault, it’s a third party integration, but really disappointing nonetheless). In the absence of a unique feature (i.e. some integration only available with Outlook) the other third party mail apps such as Spark or just the stock Apple mail app seem like much better choices for ipad and ios. I’m not sure why this app gets the overwhelmingly positive reviews both here and by tech reviewers online as it doesn’t really seem to be anything special and appears to be missing some core ipad and ios features, although again maybe i’m just missing something.more -
Terrible for GSuite Accounts
Jan 14, 2019 I’ve been a dedicated user of this app for several years and have been pretty satisfied, until recently. I started a business, got a gsuite account for it, and when I started sending mail from iOS Outlook, all of the mail from the gsuite accounts would be routed to spam by my customers email providers. At first, I thought it must be my new email address...then I tried sending mail directly from gmail on safari. No problem - no emails routed to spam. Then I downloaded Edison mail (thinking maybe it’s a third party app thing?!) and sent an email. Again, no problem - no emails routed to spam. I tried iOS outlook again...and my email got sent to spam. I reported it to the customer service team, and they brushed it off saying it wasn’t their problem. I beg to differ if the emails I send from your app get flagged as spam by recipients and yet the exact same email sent by a different app isn’t flagged by spam...I think that is your problem! And to top it off, to tell me that they won’t do anything about it, is doubly annoying. I’m removing outlook from my phone and recommend anyone with business gsuite accounts to stear clear!more

Sep 25, 2020 This app is very buggy. I have had problem since day one. 1. Automatically signed out every time I open the app 2. Receive notification on new emails but when I open its blank and all the senders would be me 3. Cannot open the app at all 4. When I open other apps this app will appear and disrupt my activities. This is consistent with Microsoft teams as well. Please address this issues in your coming updates Thank you Usermore -
Sep 26, 2020 Update 9/2020 - still an absolutely horrible email client. Inconsistent notifications. No notification of messages routed to subfolders. How can this be a corporate solution? Unreliable. Inconsistent. Absolute garbage for a business app. Sometimes notifications come through. Other times, I have to open the app for it to pull messages. No notifications for mails directed to sub folders. Swipinging calendar notifications in the notification area on the app disable them in the desktop completely.more -
The only thing worse than this app is their customer service
Jan 4, 2019 I’m trying to use this app to access my work email from home. The app has continually deleted my entire inbox for no consistent reason I can figure out. I will open a new email and it will delete the email while I’m reading it and then my entire inbox. My inbox on my work computer will still be intact, but any email I attempted to open in the app will be missing. When I contacted customer service through the app they told me it simply wasn’t possible that the app was deleting emails and never responded again. When I attempted to email customer service on my work computer it said their customer service email address is undeliverable. I missed a very important email from my boss this morning while out sick, and even drove into work to try and see if I could access the email there to find nothing. I very well might loose my job over this and their customer service frankly does not care. If you can avoid using Microsoft (which I know is impossible) do all you can to stay away from them. They are a heartless company, and their substandard products will not only make your life hell, their customer service department seems to get joy out of your pain. If I could give them zero stars I would!more -
Sep 25, 2020 Definitely my favorite email app and have been using it for years. However the last update they introduced their own built-in web browser which is absolutely terrible. When I click a link in an email it used to go and use my default browser which is Chrome which I have on my passwords on. Now it opens up in their browser and I have to copy it and then manually open up Chrome and paste the address. Please revert this change!more -
God Forbid You Have to Rest Your Password
Aug 7, 2019 I was notified today that my account was disabled for “suspicious activity.” No explanation of that activity - just directions to reset my password. Tried resetting using the request form which asked for a previous password, the email address of my previous sent email and the subject line of the previous sent email, etc. Now, if I could remember my password, I wouldn’t be trying to reset it! Anywho, send the form to wherever it goes after answering the questions to the best of my ability only to be sent something saying they couldn’t verify it was really me!!! Finally got on a chat with support and was basically told “for security purposes” staff can not enable an account. When I asked how they can disable an account with no explanation and without being able to enable it, I was told to create another account... 🤬. Now I can’t correspond with my attorney via email or send anything from this account. It’s 10 levels of frustrating and has convinced me to stop using this service and to make sure everyone I talk to knows how stupid this “recovery” system is and that your account can end up disabled with no explanation or viable means to reset your password. Just a hard lesson in frustration and a waste of time.more
What’s Groovy
I really like the integration of the outlook app with Outlook on my Windows 10 PC, OWA and my Mac. The experience and functionality are very similar between platforms which make it easy for me to switch between them and still be productive.
My biggest problem with the Outlook on iOS though is that it’s completely isolated from the rest of iOS. I understand there are some limitations with this, and maybe some more so on the SDK side of things rather than Microsoft’s, but it’s a bit frustrating that when I try to make a call directly from Phone, I don’t have the option to search through my outlook contacts. Or that when I see an email address on a website that I’m not presented with an option to write that email within the Outlook App. I’m able to share the ‘mailto:...’ link to a blank email in outlook, but cannot compose an email to that email address.
The same extends for calendar. I would love to be able to see my calendar events from outlook in the calendar app, just as a kind of unifying calendar app. I know that I can setup my Office 365 account within the accounts pane in settings, but then I’m defeating the purpose of using outlook.

What’s Subpar
Was fine until today. Suddenly my main email account wouldn't send or reply to messages and saved them all as a draft. And won't send deafts either. I didn't touch anything, change any settings... nothing. I just went to use my email as normal. Finally got on to customer help through the Android Outlook app and they've left me hanging for 48 minutes now with no response after their initial "is this only happening with ______ email account?" Very, very annoyed.

Variable performance. Every few weeks it crashes and I have to uninstall and reload which is aggravating. The most recent uploads which defaults to a built in browser is totally unmanageable. As soon as you have to get a verification code to continue your browsing you have to go back to outlook and give lost what you were doing. Please remove this feature

Sometimes when I click 'reply/reply all' my email signature does not get inserted automatically, I believe this is a bug that needs to be fixed. I hope MS technical team looks into this. Keeping in mind that most of the times, the signature is there. All in all, a much better email app than most.

I weep for everyone who has to use his on iOS.
This is the worst app that I have on my phone. Typically I don’t keep apps that I absolutely hate, but since I have no alternative to using this horrible thing, I haven’t removed it. This pathetic thing has caused problems for me professionally. It takes less time for me to boot up the computer and check my calendar and then it does for me to even make my calendar showing this out. Hoping out an email literally takes as long as it would to write a letter and put it in the mail. Smoke signals will be better than this app. I can’t even open my calendar to understand what kind of meetings I have for the day because this app loads every single calendar I have shared to me and freezes every time I click a button. This is horrible. Don’t know why Microsoft insists upon upgrading things to be absolutely terrible. Even more I can’t understand why the entire professional world forces everyone to use Outlook. Gross. Even worse, it’s been out for a year already and you’ve done nothing to fix it, it’s gotten worse if anything. I’d be fired if I was this bad at my job. -
Very simple email app
I have used numerous email applications in the past, but Outlook really is the best of them all, period. There are a lot of features here that I can’t fathom in either Gmail or Yahoo Mail, such as calendar integration, syncing with multiple devices (including computers), and a simple user interface. While I heavily use Gmail on a day-to-day basis, I think that Microsoft really pays off when it comes to this functional app. I don’t want to screw Redmond if they have missed anything worthwhile or important, but I am happy with the work that the Outlook team has put into it. In conclusion, please download this app if you can, and enjoy a simple, refreshing email experience. (The only flaw I have encountered so far? Well, as far as I can tell you, there have been a lack of features from the web app of Outlook, and you have to sign in there to access them. Only the mobile app has several features. But, otherwise, as I have said, I am content with that.) -
User friendliness and efficiency needs improvement
So when you use gmail you can do a search and it will bring up emails specifically from the word you searched. For example, if you search for Apple Pay it will pull up emails from Apple Pay first. If you do the same search in outlook it will give you all emails that include those words as the sender, subject, mention, etc. This means you have to navigate through a list of unimportant emails to get to the one you want if you don’t give up in utter disappointment in the process. If that’s not frustrating enough when you write an email and it goes past a certain line you better hope you can type really well because you won’t be able to see past that line. I would have to stop scroll up and check the sentence, correct it blindly because it toggles back down where it can’t be seen and continue typing. So I started writing in other apps like gmail and forwarding it to outlook or doing a copy paste and forwarding it to my recipient if it was a longer message. That is not how I want to send my emails but outlook hasn’t seemed to be able to figure out how to make it work. Thus I have several apps for emails. Ugh -
This is the only Android-PC compatible app I found that synchronize flawlessly with my Android phone. I have a T-Mobile manufactured Revvl 2 Plus Android phone... It does what it suppose to do. I usually have Galaxy Note phones but cannot any longer afford them because I am on a fixed income. So... Can't give 5 Stars because when transferring my photos the App doesn't cancel duplicate photos! Annoying 😲

Since the most recent update I'm not able to open any emails from my personal and business accounts. Please fix this. Update: I installed Outlook on another device and it's doing the same thing. It will not open any emails. I can send and receive email, but I can't open any emails. If I want to see them to read them I have to login on the Outlook website, which makes having the app pointless.

The App is Ok
The app has worked great since I got it last year, especially for school. But recently it’s stopped sending me notifications for some emails which has caused me to miss several emails and dead-lines. It’s too late for me at this point so please fix this issue. I don’t know if it’s because I had 2 inboxes from 2 different school emails or what, but this problem has caused me a lot of stress and I’d prefer it not happen in the future. Edit: The issue that I believed was originally occurring is not the only one. It appears the reason I am not getting notifications for emails is because these emails aren’t appearing in my inbox until days later. For example, several emails I received on the 30th of July did not appear in my inbox until today. I did not get any notifications for any emails on that 30th. This is really frustrating because I’ve received emails from university faculty who have been sending and requesting information and it is really creating a huge hassle for me and causing more stress than is needed. Maybe this is something I need to talk to my school about? If it is please let me know. -
updated from 2 to 3 stars. getting better. the push notifications appears to be working again. Please give the option to turn off the multiple updates for meeting notifications. Notifications every minute for 15 minutes is not helpful. it just makes my smart watch vibrate constantly. I have switched to Gmail for my calendar for now. please fix.
-
I enjoy this app, however I really wished there was an option to receive notifications from specific folders, not just from VIPs, favorite people and focused inbox, but from specific folders. I get so many emails but there are only a few that come from different people but into the same folder that are the most important for me to follow up quickly on.

Email as I Remember
As Microsoft’s email and calendar management becomes more streamlined with home and business users, they do their best to appeal add much as they can to mobile users that need to check their messages and events on the go. It’s nice to see how much Outlook has changed with its new dark theme and swipe gestures to sort things out quickly. -

Perfect for little to no junk mail

This is nice, especially like the agenda function but it needs a way to slide a working email draft down to check incoming emails then go back to the email draft much like iPhone email does.

So good in some areas and 1990 in others.
Hello, I love the outlook app and I need to use it on a day to day basis. Some of the items like calendar events and sending notifications is great in parts but lack in editing. First off. Why is there no copy and paste in Outlook. I had a whole email typed up and I needed to input a link. So what would I have to do? Copy and paste it in. Nope. I have to go to safari and click share and then outlook so I can send a link in outlook. Well then when I get in outlook I have to retype my message or just paste in the other one right. Nope. Paste does not work from previous to new message. So I have to manually copy something by hand. Link or original message. Come on Microsoft. Make copy and paste work the. You get a solid 4. Add some polish and sub folder notifications and some editing tools you will have a 5 Star app again. Please fix these little flaws. You have office and should be able to make a solid app. Now let’s make it happen. Thanks. -
Almost 100 percent.
I keep reading that Outlook may still not play well with all the other apps available - and, to be honest, we should not expect that it should. There are just too many apps with too many formats and offerings to contend with. However, it seems like one or two niceties of the other major apps like “Fantastical” that would be very helpful. One example is the ability to set multiple a times for reminders before an event. It may sound trivial but it is not if you are planning for a birthday, vacation or other important event. Outlook is truly a great application for IOS and I would highly recommend it to all. You have to really use it to appreciate it. If I were just starting to use Ios it would be my first down load. It is truly a 5 star app - Thank you Microsoft! However, for me to start the laborious task of transferring all my data to Outlook for IOS, Outlook needs a couple of small enhancements to push it over the top. -
Thank you...
This is the mail app I needed and wish I knew about it years ago. I have 4 email accounts and one is through ECPI. They use an exchange server, so guess what, yahoo mail can’t connect to it, Apple mail needs to have a password entered and a verification process is done, just to look at an email...for school. I don’t get it. Yesterday I downloaded this app and it’s already a life saver. It took a little bit for email to show up in my folders for yahoo, but I only had to verify yahoo one time when setting it up. I just finished customizing my settings and it’s even better. There’s a focused mail box thingy, I didn’t like it and it let me turn it off. I noticed you have to go through notifications and click each mail server you want notifications from, because your default is automatically selected. Oh, btw, I deleted yahoo and Apple mail apps and moved this one next to my hand receiver icon. -
Better than Apple's native mail app
I admit I was never impressed with the prior version of OWA. But this app is better than Apple's mail app. I like how the conversational threads lay out, the Focused conversations seem fairly intelligent in terms of dividing my email between important and non-important, and I love the ability to access attachments I have previously opened without having to find the original email that contained the attachment. Finally, this app seems to have magically saved my iPhone's battery life once I delinked my Exchange account from the iPhone default mail app. Only drawback is I couldn't figure out how to keep my contacts and delete my old Mail account entirely, so I had to re-connect my account in Settings in order to restore contacts and keep them sync'ed. Update 2 years later... this app just gets better and better. Thank you to the team involved for making the best mail app on the market. -
Love it
This app is way better than Gmail, I feel like this one is more simple to use, this app looks better and is more pleasing! I love the app on my Apple Watch. I really like the Focused part of outlook, I am just wondering how to make curtain senders go to Focused mailbox. You can add other email accounts beside outlook like Gmail and Yahoo and others. I like how if I put my phone in dark mode it does that with that app. There is a feature where Cortona can read your emails which I personally do not use a lot but is a great feature for accessibility and just hearing Emails while walking with my AirPods or other headphones. I was also wondering how you can make certain senders of mail go to trash like I have a eBay account and I get constant emails which I do t like but I want to keep my eBay account. Overall I would recommend this app way more than Gmail! Good job Microsoft! -
Best email app (if you are in the microsoft ecosystem)
Update 1: love the email app and sticking with it. As a suggestion, can we add different colors or themes to it? That would be a nice update. Ever since microsoft released its office apps for ios, i immediately dl and have been paying a monthly subscription. I used other email apps when attaching doc/ppt/exc files to them. Some gave me trouble and Gmail app just doesnt offer it. So i gave outlook app a try. And i am impressed. It is a very clean interface simple to use and allows you to sign into diff email accounts even if they are gmail yahoo etc. Can configure it the way you want and you can turn off focus group. Also comes with a calendar. If you are invested in the microsoft ecosystem then this email app is a must have for your ios device. Easy simple and you still enjoy the office environment on ios. -
In a time of so many working apps...
In an age in which there are so many apps that one can download to their phone, why would anyone choose to use this. Glitchy, constantly crashes. Very poorly organized. What I mean is that every time I update this app I have to go into the setting menu and turn off the featured email, feature. Because that feature is worthless. It makes it hard to get to my newest emails, or god forbid I want to find an old email. This app is slow to load, slow to maneuver, and just generally unpleasant to use. It seems to have trouble connecting to the outlook servers, so that often emails that I have deleted are still in my inbox when I sign back in, although the app does like to move them to the featured list. So the emails that I definitely don’t want I am sure to see every time I log in. Then if you are silly enough to try to edit your archive, or really any of your folders, don’t select more that two or three to move or erase at a time, because the app can’t handle you selecting more than that. It will crash and you will have to start all over. Just a bad app. I think that you would be better off with one of those free kinda crappy email apps. At least they don’t pretend to be useful or awesome.

So Much Better Than the Native iPhone Mail App
I had been meaning to try the Outlook app for iOS for a couple of years, moved to O365 and MS Intune necessitating my move to Outlook for iOS; fine by me. The learning curve has been minimal. I haven’t found a way to move between emails without going out to my inbox or other containing folder, but I haven’t had time to google that, either. I just wish there were up/down arrows within an email allowing me to move up/down a message within the parent folder. I like that it feels more professional in UI appearance than apps aimed at consumers in general; other than the one feature I complained about it lacking above. I haven’t tried this yet, but it appears that I can even set my OOO message, or update it, from the app! Now THAT’S a level of integration with our Exchange server that wasn’t even possible with any other mail app on the iPhone or iPad. That is awesome! I can’t wait to find out what other little nuggets it has that I haven’t discovered yet! -
Great replacement for Mail, needs only one fix
Overall I really like outlook and find it is equal to or better than Mail in virtually all respects. The reading function works amazingly well, and the overall layout and functionality is excellent. The one function I don’t like in Outlook and wish work like Mail is the undo function when I am filing and moving messages into folders. In Mail, if I move a message to the wrong folder, I can just shake the phone and and trigger the undo function to reverse the move, even several seconds later. But in Outlook, the undo is provided by a software button that appears for only a couple of seconds at the bottom of the screen. If I don’t click the button right away, the ability to undo has passed, and then I have to hope I can find the message in the wrong folder and manually re-locate it etc. Not a deal killer by any means, but if that were fixed, I would give it six stars. -
Adequate
Let me start by saying my extremely hectic life has gotten a lot more organized with this Outlook Account. The app itself can perform most of the basics that the web version can. A major improvement that they should work on is the calendar section of the application. On the web, when you make a new event you can categorize it, change its color, and other additional features that aid in quick location / identification of events documented. In the application, there is a limited amount of things you can do: you cannot change which calendar it’s saved on, cannot classify into categories, cannot change an events color, cannot view the schedule in any other color (this means that even if you have separate categories / colors on the desktop version, the application shows it all as one color), and etc. If they improved this feature, it would be almost as perfect as the desktop version of Outlook is! -
Great app, but ...
When I delete or archive an email it takes me back to the list view rather than moving on to the next email. I should at least be given the choice of whether I like to move forward or go back to the list. Making contact pictures appear (as advertised in app pics) beside each email from them is a pain. I have been trying to make it happen for quite a bit now without success. I even copied many of my 6+k contacts to Outlook on my Mac to be on the Exchange server rather than on iCloud but it didn’t work either. I think the problem is that Outlook insists on keeping itself isolated from iOS apps and their SDKs. It doesn’t show contacts from iOS although it does show iCloud calendars. The app even doesn’t have a Contacts tab like its macOS counterpart. There is a Mail tab as well as Calendar and search tabs, but no Contacts. Even the Contacts section on the macOS app is far inferior to Apple’s stock Contacts app. -
Finding older messages.
I find that e-mails sent that hit my inbox,that I have replied to, are then only available in my sent folder. I don’t believe that should be the case. I think word search and recovery of past e-mails could be improved upon... Sometimes it takes too long to find certain e-mails. Ex: If someone e-mailed me at 1:15 3 weeks ago on a certain date, I can’t go back to that date and find the e-mail in my inbox if I replied to since then. Also, if I check my sent folder, it is difficult to find it sometimes through name search more often than not. Also, when I do find the e-mail, sometimes the whole thread is not there with attachments.. Lastly, I think copying and pasting PDFs from one e-mail into a new e-mail thread could be easier. In fact, having the ability to do that with multiple e-mails, all through Outlook in the phone or tablet would be ideal. Aside from that I enjoy it. Thanks -
Almost Perfect
Robust set of features of power users, like email scheduling, a smart focused inbox system, unified calendar management, etc. are indispensable for today’s business users. The app is clearly the best overall mail management app available, but is also clearly lacking in some key areas: • Search functionality is incredibly limited and notoriously unreliable • Push notifications typically arrive well in advance of the actual messages driving the alert • E-mail signatures cannot be customized with HTML, Rich Text, or logos • Opening attachments is virtually impossible and requires several “Try Again” reload attempts, with a (generously speaking) 20% success rate • Outlook seems to caches passwords but fails to update them across devices, meaning users of iPad and iPhone will frequently experience account lockouts upon password reset New feature suggestions with overwhelming support seems to be largely ignored by the developers or, at best, are prioritized lower than less useful functionality. All in all, this is a fantastic app for email management with Exchange, Office 365, and other Enterprise mail systems; but its serious lack of other meaningful features renders it suitable only for casual business correspondence. Without more comprehensive message formatting functionality, and until the loading of attachments is repaired, this app deserves only four stars. -
Otherwise Excellent App can't Alphabetize Contacts...
Microsoft Outlook has quickly become one of my most frequently used iPad apps. For those familiar with any of the PC (or Mac) based versions of the program, the Outlook app will be highly intuitive. Microsoft releases regular updates that address reported issues and which make the app increasingly useful and navigable. My only real complaint has to do with an ongoing problem of late in the app's handling of email images. Often, placeholders are all that appear. I have looked into security settings and other possible causes for this and cannot resolve the situation. (Many other complaints from other users of the Outlook app about the glitch are documented online.) The problem does NOT impact the native Apple Mail app, which displays email images just fine when used instead. Only Outlook exhibits this image-related problem. -
A few warts on a solid app
As others have noted, there is little meaningful interaction between iOS data stores (most notably Contacts) and Outlook. This balkanizatiom of data within the app needlessly adds extra steps (as when adding a contact from a received email). Calendar and email synchronization is solid, on the whole, but unlike the iOS Calendar, you can not choose which Google calendars shared with you are synced (it's all or nothing). Visually, it's a bit above par and the UI elements are intuitive, following brief adaptation. Presentation of attachments is better than in Mail. The options to override the default browser and navigation apps are very much appreciated. Search is not the best, but arguably a tiny bit better than desktop Outlook. Finally, there is the mail setting that drives me a little nuts: Reply All is the default when there was more than one recipient of the email you're replying to. No, just no. Reply to all is a huge time sink and makes every organization less efficient. I'm so anti-Reply All that I think you should have to take a four hour class and pass a test just to get the button turned on. Please, Microsoft, do us a solid and make reply the default. If my co-worker really is going inflict their opinions on the whole 38-person list, at least let it be intentional.

Variable performance. Every few weeks it crashes and I have to uninstall and reload which is aggravating. The most recent uploads which defaults to a built in browser is totally unmanageable. As soon as you have to get a verification code to continue your browsing you have to go back to outlook and give lost what you were doing. Please remove this feature

User friendliness and efficiency needs improvement
So when you use gmail you can do a search and it will bring up emails specifically from the word you searched. For example, if you search for Apple Pay it will pull up emails from Apple Pay first. If you do the same search in outlook it will give you all emails that include those words as the sender, subject, mention, etc. This means you have to navigate through a list of unimportant emails to get to the one you want if you don’t give up in utter disappointment in the process. If that’s not frustrating enough when you write an email and it goes past a certain line you better hope you can type really well because you won’t be able to see past that line. I would have to stop scroll up and check the sentence, correct it blindly because it toggles back down where it can’t be seen and continue typing. So I started writing in other apps like gmail and forwarding it to outlook or doing a copy paste and forwarding it to my recipient if it was a longer message. That is not how I want to send my emails but outlook hasn’t seemed to be able to figure out how to make it work. Thus I have several apps for emails. Ugh -
The App is Ok
The app has worked great since I got it last year, especially for school. But recently it’s stopped sending me notifications for some emails which has caused me to miss several emails and dead-lines. It’s too late for me at this point so please fix this issue. I don’t know if it’s because I had 2 inboxes from 2 different school emails or what, but this problem has caused me a lot of stress and I’d prefer it not happen in the future. Edit: The issue that I believed was originally occurring is not the only one. It appears the reason I am not getting notifications for emails is because these emails aren’t appearing in my inbox until days later. For example, several emails I received on the 30th of July did not appear in my inbox until today. I did not get any notifications for any emails on that 30th. This is really frustrating because I’ve received emails from university faculty who have been sending and requesting information and it is really creating a huge hassle for me and causing more stress than is needed. Maybe this is something I need to talk to my school about? If it is please let me know. -
updated from 2 to 3 stars. getting better. the push notifications appears to be working again. Please give the option to turn off the multiple updates for meeting notifications. Notifications every minute for 15 minutes is not helpful. it just makes my smart watch vibrate constantly. I have switched to Gmail for my calendar for now. please fix.
-
I enjoy this app, however I really wished there was an option to receive notifications from specific folders, not just from VIPs, favorite people and focused inbox, but from specific folders. I get so many emails but there are only a few that come from different people but into the same folder that are the most important for me to follow up quickly on.
-
So many features, flows, and options different from Windows Phone/Mobile version. Won't list them all, but going from a full-featured, nearly desktop replacement version to this watered-down, limited facade is really tough. I tried to love it, but it slows me down more than it speeds me up. I actually keep my Lumia 950XL nearby for the times I need to search/compose/reply emails -- especially if there is rich formatting or calendering involved. Oh yeah, IMPORTING an .Ics file would be nice, too.

It kind of blows compared to the capability of using the site, or other email handlers.
I’ve used Outlook since it was Hotmail originally. This app has the least of what you need, and tries too hard to be new with a weird (Focus) switch for your inbox. Meaning I miss all types of email that it doesn’t think I’m focused on. Plus, it has spam and phishing emails filtered into the Focus section. My main issue is that I can’t find any rule setting, or block option for repeated spam mail. I blocked everyday in my Apple email app, and didn’t see as many spam messages hit my inbox until I started using this app to check the addressee and mark the message junk. Since there’s no menu, submenu, or tap/hold option to do so either. I don’t know who made this app, but it’s missing most of what makes Outlook efficient, and Outlook is getting terrible at filtering out spam/phishing/general junk emails in the last year. Might need to make the full jump to Gmail, even as a Microsoft supporter. -
Some issues
I’ve been using Outlook as an alternative to the built in iOS mail app due to recent vulnerabilities discovered in the latter. Generally it’s ok, but I find some things less usable: 1) longer emails display a “Read More” button after scrolling part of the message. This is completely useless and requires unnecessary clicks. There’s no reason not to simply scroll the entire message. 2) after deleting a message, the app returns to the message list. There should be an option to read the next message, again to avoid extra clicks to read your emails. 3) no indication when the app checks for new messages, and doesn’t show last-update time. I’m used to iOS app clearly indicating this, so similar function would help here. 4) delete button in upper right when reading message: this is a personal issue, in that when holding my iPhone XR with my left hand, I cannot easily reach the delete button. -
Horrible
Left 3 stars so you could would be able to actually see my review. Horrible app, doesn’t crash but doesn’t do anything you need to do in a timely matter. Everything is scattered like it’s a beta app or something. Tried the new outlook on my computer as well and everything is just confusing now. No wonder I stayed with Gmail. Will be switching my accounts over and deleting all these Microsoft attached things. Lost a customer and I’ll be sure to tell my friends and family to stay away if they don’t want CONSTANT UPDATE REMINDERS AND CONSTANT BIRTHDAY REMINDERS THAT WONT SAVE SETTINGS!! I’ve tried turning off birthday notifications and EVERY DAY at 12 o clock noon sharp I get stupid reminder dings and emails about birthdays when I TURN THEM OFF EVERY DAY. Forced me to download this app just to do that and it still won’t work. Sad to say I’ll be switching this from my main business account to junk. Sorry Microsoft lost yourself a few customers. -
Improvements needed to be a great app
There have been lots of improvements to this mail app, most especially over the last few months, however there are just a few crucial bits that should be addressed to make this a 5-star mobile mail application: Add originating inbox identifier for notifications in Notification Center for multiple inbox management: I manage 6 inboxes, not including my own, and I need to have an eye in each of them constantly. Being able to make the originating inbox distinction from the notification would be a top-tier improvement for people who oversee more than just their own inbox. Group all Outlook notifications in iOS Notification Center: Mobile is king, so it would be wise to take note of how notifications present on mobile and adjust for less clutter and more streamlined email management. You know what makes me less inclined to use the app’s notification features? The simple fact that, despite having turned on the “group similar notifications” feature on iOS, Outlook email notifications only group when an email is in the same chain. This leaves me with multitudes of notifications clogging up my Notification Center, making it quite cluttered and cumbersome. I end up needing to open the app directly to clear all of the notifications by default because it’s not a good use of time otherwise.

Disjointed Functionality
It seems that Outlook routinely "forgets" your mail accounts, even when using Microsoft's own Exchange-based accounts (Outlook, Hotmail). Why is this? Why does Outlook have to refresh all of your mail locally almost every time you open it? There will even be a numerical badge indicating unread messages, but when you open Outlook, you will be notified that Outlook has "found" accounts on your system (accounts that you have, of course, already added to Outlook) and you will be prompted to add these accounts again. The standard Apple iOS Mail app actually seems to manage Microsoft's own mail accounts better than Microsoft's email app. How can this be? Is Apple doing sometime here to hobble non-Apple email apps (as they do with non-Apple mobile browsers) or has Microsoft not been able to figure out how to develop native iOS applications? I'm inclined to think it's the latter, because other non-Apple email apps do seem to be able to retain email account continuity. It's a shortcoming only for the Outlook email client. I keep trying to use Outlook as a mobile email client for my Microsoft email accounts and I always end up uninstalling it and reverting to the Apple app or some other third-part email app. It's a shame, really. Google's Mail app works pretty well for Gmail. Microsoft's Outlook app doesn't work well for Microsoft email. What's going on here? -
This app is very buggy. I have had problem since day one. 1. Automatically signed out every time I open the app 2. Receive notification on new emails but when I open its blank and all the senders would be me 3. Cannot open the app at all 4. When I open other apps this app will appear and disrupt my activities. This is consistent with Microsoft teams as well. Please address this issues in your coming updates Thank you User

Update 9/2020 - still an absolutely horrible email client. Inconsistent notifications. No notification of messages routed to subfolders. How can this be a corporate solution? Unreliable. Inconsistent. Absolute garbage for a business app. Sometimes notifications come through. Other times, I have to open the app for it to pull messages. No notifications for mails directed to sub folders. Swipinging calendar notifications in the notification area on the app disable them in the desktop completely.

Extremely basic, can’t organize mail
This is a terrible implementation of outlook. It’s only good for basic reading & writing of simple emails. I can’t manage folders other than the ability to create new folders at the top level of the folder hierarchy. I can’t create a hierarchy of folders. God forbid you used Outlook for windows to create a folder hierarchy in your mailbox; it can’t be edited, new folders can’t be created within this hierarchy, and there is NO WAY to delete any folders in this app. (The native Apple Mail app is more functional with this regard than MS’ own app.) The only other reason I’d use this app over Apple Mail client is to retain the ability to create other types of outlook / exchange documents in folders. But, alas, the authors have removed this feature too. No more notes, postings, or other document types. So now I have to email things to myself and move them into folders when I want to use exchange to organize my online documents & notes; and that means sending notes through email which is often a security risk I was never exposed to before. But, then again, since I can’t do folder Mgmt, I’m better off using Apple Mail so I can at least manage where and how I store my info with my folder hierarchy. -
The only thing worse than this app is their customer service
I’m trying to use this app to access my work email from home. The app has continually deleted my entire inbox for no consistent reason I can figure out. I will open a new email and it will delete the email while I’m reading it and then my entire inbox. My inbox on my work computer will still be intact, but any email I attempted to open in the app will be missing. When I contacted customer service through the app they told me it simply wasn’t possible that the app was deleting emails and never responded again. When I attempted to email customer service on my work computer it said their customer service email address is undeliverable. I missed a very important email from my boss this morning while out sick, and even drove into work to try and see if I could access the email there to find nothing. I very well might loose my job over this and their customer service frankly does not care. If you can avoid using Microsoft (which I know is impossible) do all you can to stay away from them. They are a heartless company, and their substandard products will not only make your life hell, their customer service department seems to get joy out of your pain. If I could give them zero stars I would! -
Definitely my favorite email app and have been using it for years. However the last update they introduced their own built-in web browser which is absolutely terrible. When I click a link in an email it used to go and use my default browser which is Chrome which I have on my passwords on. Now it opens up in their browser and I have to copy it and then manually open up Chrome and paste the address. Please revert this change!

God Forbid You Have to Rest Your Password
I was notified today that my account was disabled for “suspicious activity.” No explanation of that activity - just directions to reset my password. Tried resetting using the request form which asked for a previous password, the email address of my previous sent email and the subject line of the previous sent email, etc. Now, if I could remember my password, I wouldn’t be trying to reset it! Anywho, send the form to wherever it goes after answering the questions to the best of my ability only to be sent something saying they couldn’t verify it was really me!!! Finally got on a chat with support and was basically told “for security purposes” staff can not enable an account. When I asked how they can disable an account with no explanation and without being able to enable it, I was told to create another account... 🤬. Now I can’t correspond with my attorney via email or send anything from this account. It’s 10 levels of frustrating and has convinced me to stop using this service and to make sure everyone I talk to knows how stupid this “recovery” system is and that your account can end up disabled with no explanation or viable means to reset your password. Just a hard lesson in frustration and a waste of time. -
If you have blocked external images and have a non Exchange account and you click the Download Images link for Images you want/trust, it doesn't. I went back and forth with support but ended up with "We are aware of it and will fix in future updates". There have been several updates since then but issue still persist. If you have pop accounts, don't download this. Update: Another update & stillnotfixed. 9/3 Another update & still not fixed. 9/17 another update & still not fixed.

Poor Features Compared To Others
Let me first say I do like Outlook on a web platform and on Microsoft’s system - however, we changed over to IPad and IOS because of the Windows phone discontinuation. This APP has been a bugger since I set it up. I have reloaded it 2 or 3 times in the last couple of months because it fails to send- despite correct settings through our broadband supplier. Now, I can receive mail but will not send even though it worked fine for about 2 weeks - no settings changes. Besides that, the app has a very basic signature line and hardly customizable, no mail read receipts. This would be handy because I have many emails that show in the “Sent” folder that didn’t go anywhere. I understand we use this as an interface, but I shouldn’t get a banner showing a new email and have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to actually show up in the inbox. Support is via ticket not live and I have waited 20+ hours at times to get a response. Personal email is one thing, but for a business.. can’t have it. There are other things however I believe i have typed enough. Version 3.5 at the moment. Again, I enjoy outlook on a Microsoft system or as used via web - but this app and it’s updates/features for IOS are lacking. -
Been an Outlook user for 20 years, feels like the app version is going completely in wrong direction. Opening an email chain now shows oldest email first so you waste a ton of time scrolling, its turned off alot of my clients. Search comsumes more time to get to a simple email you are looking for. No contacts in app, you have to do this rigged sync, that carries non of my useful 365 information. more steps to do things that worked seemless before and no consistency across Outlook apps/platforms
-
Slow
This app is so slow! It takes forever for emails to be filed away, opened, downloaded, replied to...very upsetting that I cannot link my 0365 email to my iPhone like I could my exchange email. -
No read receipts
Why wont Microsoft give you read receipts on OWA or the Outlook app. I can get em on the MacBook air. I bought MS Business Outlook for this. Bill Gates pls help me. I really want to like your products. Your more concerned about Davos. -
Spam
The amount of spam email received is annoying. There is no way to report the spam on this app. And it seems, when I report the spam on my computer, I receive more spam email than I did before. -
Doesn’t work with Google email
Another app from Microsoft that doesn’t work with google emails. Very disappointed. -
Odio esta maldita app siempre es lo mismo
I hate this app -
iOS 14 update-no message preview
Update messed up notifications! Have to hold message to read besides “new message”. No preview. Please fix!! Also search is horrible as well. -
It’s fine. But no access to my NOTES is an issue.
I used to just used the native iOS mail app for my companies Exchange email but recently they made us use the Outlook Mail App. Email and Calendar work good but I could not find my NOTES. This is not ideal as I make notes on laptop all the time and want to reference on mobile. Only solution I have found is to access the outlook web access OWA and that is kind of a pain in the arse. Seems like a easy fix MS. -
Search Engine Is Terrible
Please update your search engine. It’s impossible to find an email you look for. -
Poor Search Function and loading issue
Users have been voicing for a better search function for years now. All that is needed is a search box on each of the inbox / folder like other competing mail app. Not sure why Microsoft wants to keep the search tab which can’t really search for any emails. After IOS 14 updates had the app crashing multiple times and mails not loading / updating correctly. Also why is the user feedback board so much harder to use. Why do I need a separate login? Seems like an effort to making it harder to post reviews to curb users from providing feedback. -
Outlook app changed email view and email grouping for the worse !
The most recent update of Outlook on Sep/2020 changed Outlook for the worst, it’s difficult to tell if you are at the end or at the beginning of the email chain, (sometimes you re at the bottom, and sometimes you are at the top), very confusing, and it hinders productivity. The grouping is also confusing, and Outlook does not give you the option to remove it, or to remove any of the new features, I’m stuck. The Outlook app was functioning perfectly fine, why this absurd change? Leave it to Microsoft to take something good and make it something completely worse than before.

Only one month of storage? Seriously?
I don't know about the rest of you but I use this app on my iPhone for business. It has a very limited amount of storage space and I received quite a few emails. I'm only able to access emails dating back one month. No help from tech-support and I see that many others have suggested an improvement to the developers. No response. Typical Microsoft behavior. They will always think they're better and smarter than anybody else. Part of the problem is that they don't listen. That arrogance and lack of adaptation to changing behavior is what is making their company fade. The only way to access these older emails is to use the web-based browser on my desktop. This is an absolutely ridiculous alternative just simply having an app that would allow you to use local storage on your device to archive and back up your emails for easier access on the go. I'm not sure why they have such limited storage. I have tons of free storage using my yahoo email dating back to the late 90s! Absolute crap. If you can avoid this ridiculousness please find another email client to serve your business needs. And Microsoft - I hope you burn in hell. -
No drag and drop?
Maybe I’m missing something here, but as far as I can tell Outlook does not allow dragging and dropping of files with either the Files app or Google Drive in split-view. The focus/other view is not well implemented, and often made seeing email harder rather than easier (although not being able to see an email is I guess a form of dealing with your inbox overload). There is an email filing integration with another web app I use that is available on the desktop version that is awesome, but unfortunately it appears that integration isn’t available on the ipad and ios versions (not Microsoft’s fault, it’s a third party integration, but really disappointing nonetheless). In the absence of a unique feature (i.e. some integration only available with Outlook) the other third party mail apps such as Spark or just the stock Apple mail app seem like much better choices for ipad and ios. I’m not sure why this app gets the overwhelmingly positive reviews both here and by tech reviewers online as it doesn’t really seem to be anything special and appears to be missing some core ipad and ios features, although again maybe i’m just missing something. -
Terrible for GSuite Accounts
I’ve been a dedicated user of this app for several years and have been pretty satisfied, until recently. I started a business, got a gsuite account for it, and when I started sending mail from iOS Outlook, all of the mail from the gsuite accounts would be routed to spam by my customers email providers. At first, I thought it must be my new email address...then I tried sending mail directly from gmail on safari. No problem - no emails routed to spam. Then I downloaded Edison mail (thinking maybe it’s a third party app thing?!) and sent an email. Again, no problem - no emails routed to spam. I tried iOS outlook again...and my email got sent to spam. I reported it to the customer service team, and they brushed it off saying it wasn’t their problem. I beg to differ if the emails I send from your app get flagged as spam by recipients and yet the exact same email sent by a different app isn’t flagged by spam...I think that is your problem! And to top it off, to tell me that they won’t do anything about it, is doubly annoying. I’m removing outlook from my phone and recommend anyone with business gsuite accounts to stear clear! -
Frustrating App
This has to be one of the most irritating email apps I have ever used. It does remedy some of my issues with iOS email, but several things drive me crazy. I get several longer emails a day, newsletters and such, and as I am scrolling down the email it just stops with a “read more” button. It then opens the email again and returns you all the way to the top. So then I have to scroll all the way back to where it left off. If you need to switch apps for a second and return to finish the email you are reading? You guessed it. It returns you all the way back to the top and you have to scroll all the way back down. Accidentally close the window?Right again! Scroll all the way to the bottom, press the “read more” button which returns you to the top, then scroll all the way back down where you left off. There SO MANY ways they could easily remedy this but a simple one would be to have a button at the top of the email to open it in its own window. I have other issues, like not being able to create subfolders to the inbox without doing it on a laptop, but that’s enough complaining for one review. -
FIX CALENDAR REMINDERS
i'm not giving this app more than 1 star until you guys fix Calendar reminders that were created on the desktop version of outlook but somehow are not able to sync on to this mobile version. Thats a crucial part of a calendar app, is it not? UPDATE: calendar issue fixed but this app is still completely useless if I can't log in with One Touch. I have to completely reboot my phone each time it starts throwing an error. This is an enterprise app how are you guys allowing this to happen. Still one star because I can't even enter the darn app. ONE-YEAR LATER UPDATE: this app still is unfortunately unreliable. For most professionals, calendar appointments are extremely important in their day-to-day business schedule. There are NOT ENOUGH notification capabilities through this app to remind people of upcoming appointments. My other calendar app, Calendars by Readdle, that I use for my personal life, I can set multiple reminders at 1 day, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and 5 minutes before an important appointment so I can feel confident that I NOT MISS that crucial meeting. Unfortunately that type of functionality is missing with Outlook. -
Not possible to access iCloud files
My employer uses Microsoft outlook for email. This would not be a problem if not for this apps inability to attach documents I store on my iCloud. All my devices (watch, phone, laptop, iPads) are apple devices. I store all of my important files on iCloud. If I am replying to an email and want to send an attachment, I’m out of luck. When I click on attach, the Files section does not include iCloud. I decided to have my Google Drive sync my most heavily used work-related folder on my iCloud. But when I try to set up that account under Files, it fails and I get a notification to contact support. Support seems really communicative however. They are definitely interested in helping me make this work. Unfortunately, when I see a support notification pop up, I cannot even open the conversation without first trying to set up my Google Drive, then having it fail, then seeing the pop up with a link to contact customer support. There is no way to access the customer support chat without forcing something to go wrong then opening up the chat window. This is a definite flaw in the iPad version of this app! -
Each time the app is updated, I have to go to each and every folder to start seeing new email. New mail in inbox shows up however the mails that automatically move to different folders based on rules do not appear without manually going to each and every folder. Please fix this. Thank you!

Apple Watch App is a Fail
The Outlook iOS app gets 4.5 stars in my opinion. I actually think I like it better than Apple’s mail and calendar apps. It does everything those apps do with a slicker UI and a little more fidelity. It loses half a star because it is not quite as simple to setup and required my to create an iCloud email to sync my iCloud calendar. Where is fails miserably is the Apple Watch app. Basically, the calendar function doesn’t work at all. It always says I have no events when I have a packed calendar pretty much every day. Randomly an event will show up, but then it’s gone the next minute. It never shows events on the complication on the home screen. Also, the number icon to show how many new or unread emails changes between a number and zero every few minutes even though nothing in my inbox has changed. There is some kind of sync issue between the IOS app and the Apple Watch App. I’ve tried everything to remedy it. My Apple Watch is how I most frequently access my calendar. So regardless of how good the Outlook app is, as a package it cannot replace Apple’s apps until they can fix the Apple Watch app.

It’s 10 levels of frustrating and has convinced me to stop using this service and to make sure everyone I talk to knows how stupid this “recovery” system is and that your account can end up disabled with no explanation or viable means to reset your password. Just a hard lesson in frustration and a waste of time. -
If you have blocked external images and have a non Exchange account and you click the Download Images link for Images you want/trust, it doesn't. I went back and forth with support but ended up with "We are aware of it and will fix in future updates". There have been several updates since then but issue still persist. If you have pop accounts, don't download this. Update: Another update & stillnotfixed. 9/3 Another update & still not fixed. 9/17 another update & still not fixed.

Poor Features Compared To Others
Let me first say I do like Outlook on a web platform and on Microsoft’s system - however, we changed over to IPad and IOS because of the Windows phone discontinuation. This APP has been a bugger since I set it up. I have reloaded it 2 or 3 times in the last couple of months because it fails to send- despite correct settings through our broadband supplier. Now, I can receive mail but will not send even though it worked fine for about 2 weeks - no settings changes. Besides that, the app has a very basic signature line and hardly customizable, no mail read receipts. This would be handy because I have many emails that show in the “Sent” folder that didn’t go anywhere. I understand we use this as an interface, but I shouldn’t get a banner showing a new email and have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to actually show up in the inbox. Support is via ticket not live and I have waited 20+ hours at times to get a response. Personal email is one thing, but for a business.. can’t have it. There are other things however I believe i have typed enough. Version 3.5 at the moment. Again, I enjoy outlook on a Microsoft system or as used via web - but this app and it’s updates/features for IOS are lacking. -
Been an Outlook user for 20 years, feels like the app version is going completely in wrong direction. Opening an email chain now shows oldest email first so you waste a ton of time scrolling, its turned off alot of my clients. Search comsumes more time to get to a simple email you are looking for. No contacts in app, you have to do this rigged sync, that carries non of my useful 365 information. more steps to do things that worked seemless before and no consistency across Outlook apps/platforms

Since the last update, links open in a terrible built in browser, ignoring your default browser or apps. I use my default browser for a reason. I'm logged into my accounts, it's tied to my password manager, etc. With extra clicks you can open in your own browser but not any other apps. This used to be a useful app but this update makes it frustratingly unuseable for anyone who regularly opens email links. I'll change my rating when this 'feature' becomes optional

Cannot even add my exchange account from work, using this app. After the update it had me re-enter my account and password. And ever since I have not been able to log-in. It appears a message that the server connection has been timed out... It sucks... This needs a fix, asap.
